Exclusive: Chanel Iman's Vacation Photos

by Jane Keltner de Valle

The life of a top model isn't all work and no play. Chanel Iman recently treated herself to a ten day vacation in the Bahamas. "It's paradise," she tells me. "The best experience ever! I went scuba diving and jet skiing, and swam with the dolphins." (And she's got the pictures to prove it, which she's sharing exclusively with us.) So she wasn't exactly beach-bumming, but the trip definitely seems to have agreed with her. She returned just in time for last week's premiere of The September Issue looking positively glowing and glam in Versace. As for the movie, she gives it two big thumbs up. "Pure fashion! I loved it," she says. "The celebrities were so boring to watch compared with all the models. Maybe it'll finally convince people to start putting models back on the covers of magazines. Bring back the models!" Something tells me her wish will be granted sooner than later. In the meantime, you can follow the adventures of the jet-setting glamour girl on her twitter page: www.twitter.com/itsmechaneliman. Tell her Teen Vogue sent you!
